USED Phaeton PHTP-3030 Pocket Trumpet - Silver Plated

Setting the Highest Standards For Trumpets

Once in a lifetime, a new and revolutionary product exceeds the designer’s expectations! Phaeton has earned this honor. This new dynamic line of trumpets exudes neo-classic art design coupled with state of the art metallurgy and up to date acoustic technology.

We’ve raised the bar for trumpet quality with Phaeton finishes, bracing, fast taper lead pipe and ideal weight balance. When you couple these exciting features with our “short stroke” piston design, you now have a trumpet that rivals all others in the market.

Exceptional intonation, crisp resonance, ideal balance, focused projection and enhanced valve action are examples of the visionary thinking by the engineers who collaborated to make these trumpets a reality.

Phaeton Pocket Trumpets are virtual clones of our great full size trumpets. Same short stroke pistons, same bell construction, same bore size, same trim components and same case style. These trumpets have the best “tight wrap” design available on the market. This instrument is designed for players who are looking for that special, uniquely brilliant sound produced only by pocket trumpets. These horns are ideal for small Jazz and Dixieland combos when that distinctive “Pocket” sound is most desirable.
